FilATlilS TOOL.

Application filed. September 27, 1919, serial No. 328,903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM *Woaraox, a citizen of the United Pitates, residing at Emmett, in the county of item and state of Idaho, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tools, of which the tollowing is a specification.

'llhis invention relates to a tool or vise for supporting work, and has for its pr1- mary object to provide a tool, which may be eliiciently used with. work of irregular outline.

An object of the invention is to provide means for supporting,' two vises in a manner that the latter may assume numerous angular positions.

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the manner of connecting the vises to the base, so that the former may be clamped in a plurality of angular positions.

With these and other objects in view theinvention will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a side elevation of the vise.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view.

Fig. 4 is a detail view.

It 5 is a plan view of a portion of the turn table.

Fig. 6 is a view of the wrench to be used with my invention.

Again referring to the drawings illusrating one of the many forms in which my invention may be constructed, the numeral 1 designates the base of "l' shape formation in cross section so as to have the proper sliding action with a pair of clamps 2. Each clamp is adjusted toward and away from the other by a su'ew S mounted in toe base and having its head arranger l to be readily engaged by the wrench shown in 6. Each clamp is constructed of two parts i and 5. The part 4: has a slidable connection with the base while part 5 is sup ported by part l. The parts are clamped together by a bolt 6, and for the purpose of materially reinforcing this connection part 4 is provided with lugs 7 arranged on opposite sides of the part 4. Each part is formed with a circular depression 8 which cooperates to form a socket 9 for the receptlon of a ball 10 on the vise 11. Tins VlSB Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 8, i921.

Renewed January 3, 1921. Serial l lo. 434,8-t2.

11 comprises a track or base 12 and a pair of jaws 13 adjusted by the screw lat. Mount ed in one oi" the jaws is a set screw 15 which binds the j aw in engagement with the traclr so that only one jaw will move in the rotation of the screw. Jaw 16 which has mounted therein, the set screw 15, is constructed of two parts 1'? and 18 having a swivel connection 19 with each other, so that part 1 may assume a plurality of angular positions. To complete my invention provide a turn table :20 for supporting the base 1. V

l-From this arranoement it will be seen that ear-.h vise may be swung to a plurality of angular positions, so as to .eli'ectively engage the work to be acted upon. The construction of the clamp and its association with the vise is such that vise may be thrownto an angular position and clamped in such position by tightening the bolt 6. in practice this universal connection between the vise and base has a number of advantages, only a tow of which have been stated. lit is of course to be understood that the invention may be constructed in various other manners and the parts associated in other relations, and therefore I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claim hereunto appended.

What l claim is?- In a means for supporting a vise, whereby the vise may be arranged at various an glee with respect to its support; the combination with a. vise having; a ball projecting from the base thereof, a support comprising" a member having; a reduced upper end. which is formed onits inner face at its inner corner with an approximately semi spherical socket to receive the ball therein. a se'ond member restina" on the shoulder of the reduced'end of the first mentioned member and havino; its inner face at its inner corner provided with an approximately semi-spherical socket in which the ball is also arranged. lunfs on the lower and inner corners of the second mentioned member contacting with the sides of the reduced eX- tension. of the first mentioned member, and adjustable clamping means passing through both of the members.

in testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature.

WILLIAM WOMACK.
